About

Hi, I’m Steven—photographer, designer, and someone who sees the world a little differently.

Growing up, my dad was blind in one eye and completely color blind. He saw everything in black and white, like an old TV. Watching him navigate a world without color made me realize just how powerful sight—and especially color—can be. It taught me to notice the details others might miss, and to never take the beauty of a sunset or the sparkle in someone’s eyes for granted.

That perspective is what led me to photography. I don’t just take pictures—I try to capture the feeling behind them. Whether it’s the quiet strength in a family portrait or the way light dances across a mountain ridge, I aim to preserve moments that matter.

Photography runs deep in my roots. My grandfather and great-grandfather were both photographers, and I recently rediscovered some of their old camera gear. I photographed it right on my kitchen table—it felt like a tribute to the legacy I’m proud to carry forward.

Over the years, I’ve photographed everything from nature and architecture to families, seniors, and corporate teams. I especially love chasing sunsets—the way color spills across the sky, paints the clouds, and brings everything to life. That’s the kind of magic I look for in every shoot.

If you’re looking for images that feel personal, timeless, and full of heart, I’d be honored to work with you.
